MATERIALS IMPERFECTIONS AND DEVELOPMENT OF YOUNG MINDS – Offor Uzochukwu George
Materials are as important as
life itself. It is basic for mankind breakthrough in all form of civilization
and growth. It is one of the parameter that helps us to measure time and age (Stone
Age, Iron Age and our current and advanced stage). Materials in accordance with
English mini dictionary, is an item needed for creating something. The
aspiration of our family, lecturers, school management and friends of
generating and executing ideas that will transform not only our lives but that
of our generation and proceed into something useful, beautiful, elegant and
most importantly useful. Like Engr. U. Mark has always said and as agreed by
all engineers in metallurgy and materials department, materials are not perfect
and they contain impurities. Materials which are required for growth and
improvement of life yet as English Mini Dictionary defines imperfect, it is
incomplete.
MATERIALS SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING - CHIKWE, CHUKWUMEREZE WISDOM
The discipline of
Materials Science and Engineering can sometimes be subdivided into Materials
Science and Materials Engineering sub-disciplines. Strictly speaking, Materials
Science involves investigating the relationships that exist between the
structures and properties of materials. In contrast, materials engineering is
on the basis of these structure–property correlations, designing or engineering
the structure of a material to produce a predetermined set of properties. From
a functional perspective, the role of a materials scientist is to develop or
synthesize new materials, whereas a materials engineer is called upon to create
new products or systems using existing materials and/or to develop techniques
for processing materials. Most graduates in materials programs are trained to
be both materials scientists and materials engineers. Structure is at this
point a nebulous term that deserves some explanation. In brief, the structure
of a material usually relates to the arrangement of its internal components.
Subatomic structure involves electrons within the individual atoms and
interactions with their nuclei. On an atomic level, structure encompasses the
organization of atoms or molecules relative to one another.2016 NAMMES EXCURSION TO KOGI STATE.
The National Association of
Materials and Metallurgical Engineering Students, Federal University of
Technology, Owerri embarked on a three day field trip to Nigerian Iron Ore
Mining Company (NIOMCO), Itakpe and Ajaokuta Steel Company all in Kogi State from May 17th to 20th, 2016 . They
trip was planned by the Zealous NAMMES Executives in conjunction with the
immediate NAMMES National President, Comr. Owums Henry. It was a wonderful
experience for the students as it helped to incorporate the practical and real
life experiences with the theoretical knowledge obtained in lecture halls. It
will be noted that the field trip was the first of its kind in FUTO. Although
there were many setbacks during the trip because it wasn’t an easy task moving
from the east to the north, but we give thanks to God for his guidance and
protection throughout the period of the field trip. THE CLARION CALL – EZE JOSHUA N.
For some time now, I have pondered about the piece of write-up
to put down for this publication, aside our primary aim of coming to this great
citadel of learning. I do not see this as an opportunity to bring myself to
limelight or to display my vocabulary prowess, so my motive is not a victim of
prejudice. I see this as an opportunity to reach out not only to the environs
of the department of Materials and Metallurgical Engineering (FUTO), but to
reach out to the students of all other departments in FUTO and in Nigeria, as I
don’t believe in limitation. I see this as a clarion call to all students,
literate youths, and illiterate youths who would come to know the content of
this article to rise to the responsibility of the saying our democracy.
THE DRIVING FORCE – Comr. ANOSIKE KELECHI C.
There will always be a plan that guides any journey before
the commencement of such journey. The plans about the destination in view,
goals to achieve and likely encounter on the journey are first analyzed by the
traveller. The initial set plans gives the basis on which the driving force
work upon. It is this force that instigates the motive and passion for a
continuous move. However, the ultimate driving force plays its role in the quest for the
provision of those necessities that contribute to human comfort ability, which
makes men not to sit back and watch responsibilities that deserves attention,
and putting in their effort in their respective services with dedication.
A Little reflection
on this latin word, "Optimus Sequere”,
meaning "follow the best", which is the watch word of men for
excellence in their life endeavors.
TOP POLITICAL GIANTS IN NAMMES - Comr. Aniebo Anthony C. (NAMMES PRO 2015/2016)
Politics is all about influence and
making impacts in the society. I personally conducted an in-depth investigation
recently which clearly reveals that over the years, there have several
political icons in NAMMES. For the purpose of this essay, I will be concerned
with those that made impacts in the last five years. This does not in any way
limit the possibility of another set of political gladiators that will spring
up in the political arena of NAMMES in years to come since change is always
constant. In no particular order, I will elucidate you on the political
profiles of these young men and women (graduates and undergraduates) who have
made valuable impacts in NAMMES and beyond.
